Victor Rosenberg, Non-Executive Chairman of ClearVue, commented:
“ClearVue’s Board and management are thrilled to be able to announce the appointment of our new CEO, Martin Deil, a globally experienced and recognised leader with a remarkable industry focus. With an extensive background in the global façade and building envelope industry, Martin brings a wealth of knowledge and a proven track record of driving success in highly competitive markets around the world.
“Martin’s visionary leadership, strategic acumen, and deep understanding of global business trends in the façade and architectural envelope business, including in the area of sustainability and construction decarbonisation, makes him the ideal candidate to steer our Company towards continued growth, innovation and expansion.
“We are confident that under Martin’s guidance, we will further solidify and enhance our position as a key player in the nascent window integrated photovoltaics market and unlock new opportunities for our organisation and stakeholders. We warmly welcome Martin to the ClearVue team and look forward to embarking on an exciting new chapter for the Company together.”
Incoming ClearVue CEO, Martin Deil said:
“I am delighted to be joining ClearVue as the new CEO and would like to express my sincere gratitude for the warm welcome extended to me. It is with great excitement that I embark on this journey with such a talented and dedicated team. I am genuinely impressed by the Company's achievements thus far and the strong foundation that has been established.
“The Company’s recent appointments to the Board of recognised leaders in this space in both Gerd Hoenicke and Chuck Mowrey, and the appointment of Clifton Smyth into the Company’s key business development role have demonstrated Victor and the management team’s focus on maximising engagement with the Company’s core customer and stakeholder base to build a deep sales channel and pipeline which I hope to leverage in the years ahead.
“I feel honoured to be able to work for a Company that can make a genuine contribution to the Climate Crisis through the reduction of carbon in construction; a staggering 39% of global carbon emissions are from construction with around 11% coming from embodied carbon in new builds. The ClearVue solution helps reduce both the embodied carbon, but also operational carbon which is extremely rare in the construction industry. Given the amount of activity that is expected with the focus on the energy transition and decarbonisation of construction flowing from the US Inflation Reduction Act, but also a plethora of other initiatives globally, I believe the Company is bringing the right solution at the right time.
“I am looking forward to being able to leverage my experience to drive innovation, foster growth,

and shape a prosperous future for ClearVue. I firmly believe in the power of collaboration and open communication, and I am committed to fostering a culture of excellence, integrity, and continuous improvement within our organisation, and to maximising returns for our shareholders.
“I would like to thank the Board and management for this incredible opportunity. I am confident that, together, we will accomplish great things.”
The Company looks forward to updating the market on the Company’s global expansion activities with Mr Deil at the helm in due course.
